This is our archive page for our Ireland travel guides.

Since we have many articles about Ireland, I have organized them in sub-categories that I hope will help navigate swiftly to the travel guides that are most relevant to you.

In our blog, we cover several ireland travel topics:

  • Ireland travel tips for first-time visitors
  • Travel guides to Dublin, Ireland’s capital
  • Traveling to Ireland with kids
  • Kids attractions in Ireland (both for locals and visitors)
  • Travel guide to specific Ireland attractions
  • Ireland packing lists
  • Fun facts about Ireland
  • Books about Ireland for kids
  • Reviews of specific hotels we have loved

All our guides are written from an insider point of you, making the most of the local knowledge we have gained living here (we have been living in Dublin for over 15 years and my husband is Irish) but with special attention to the needs for first time visitors: I still love looking at the country like I did the first time and love to show it off to our visitors and friends.

I hope you find them useful. Happy travel planning!
